Difficulty

The trail consists of deep sand that shifts as the winds wear away at the mixture of rock ledges and fractured basalt. Exciting the trail there is a steep hill climb made up of fractured basalt and dirt, with some drop-offs. The road is narrow, accommodating only one vehicle at a time, but there are areas where drivers can pull over to allow others to pass. Flat tires are a common hazard in this area.
